In an earlier conversation on this subject, someone suggested having only a DVD image, and having a tool to break it into CD images, rather than having both. It's the opposite of the "download all the CDs and use a tool to make a DVD image" routine that people are currently using. I'd take it a step further: why not have a client-side tool for downloading new releases that let you choose (similar to the way Anaconda lets you choose) what portions you want to download, so you could download build your own custom CD set. It would allow people with limited bandwidth or needs to download a single CD with the 'core' (pun intended) packages they need, and allow those of us with bandwidth and a wish for DVD images to download everything. Just a thought. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
